Saying they are faced with a civil rights crisis that demands immediate attention, African American anti-abortion advocates will hold three events in the Bay Area later this month in an aggressive push to combat the high number of abortions among black women.
“The abortion issue is huge. It is the Darfur of America,” and it’s time to educate the public about it, said Walter Hoye, a Berkeley preacher who founded the Issues4Life Foundation, a recently formed Union City-based organization intent on drafting more African Americans into the fight against abortion.
Issues4Life has organized the events to coincide with the Jan. 22 anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 18 and Black History Month in February. All three events will feature Alveda King, the niece of the slain civil rights leader.
A two-mile Walk for Life will be held in Oakland and a conference will be hosted at a Berkeley church Jan. 18. The following day, a walk similar to the one in Oakland will take place in San Francisco.
He’s quite right. Margaret Sanger was not shy about the reasons to adopt abortion, and they didn’t have anything to do with concern for the African American community.
A breath of fresh air from an unlikely quarter.
As an African – American, I can firmly state that leaders like “Rev. Brown†don’t represent the opinions of most African Americans. Most of the so-called black leadership in America doesn’t represent mainstream or conservative African-Americans. What I find interesting is that a minister of the gospel would not have a concern about the abortion issue because it’s not a civil rights issue????!!!
We could end abortion tomorrow if pro-life people focused on the history of eugenics. Standing in front of abortion clinics and foaming at the mouth is ineffective and a waste of time in my opinion. The focus should be on educating the public on the history of eugenics, its outgrowth from the theory of evolution and its spiritual connection to Gnosticism. When people learn of the eugenics ideology and how its being used in a variety of ways to reduce the world’s population down to a target of a billion or less people, that’s when things will change.

Vincent, you are quite correct. Just a cursory reading of Margaret Sanger’s writing would nip Planned Parenthood eugenically.
